Analysis of Tablets from Amazon¶
Analyzing data of all tablets from amazon.com. Scraped using Scrapy¶
Goal, to analyze differences in products and compare to Amazons brand of tablets, Fire HD tablets.¶
Products were analyzed by Rating of product in stars, number of reviews, popularity, and commonly used words by the seller to market their product.¶
Challenges in Scraping Amazon¶
- Multiple xpaths and tags were needed in order to properply scrape data, and even then some did not scrape appropriately
- Wanted to Scrape Technical details table for system specs however there was no consistency in any of the table formats or tags. Some Technical details page only showed an image rather than a table making it difficult to scrape
- Thus the description was parsed and word cloud was used to see what the common specs were
First lets read the csv file generated by scrapy¶
